The Builders: The Modern Retelling of The Three Little Pigs

*Sigh...
I've got a lot of assignment from last week. The worst thing is I didn't finish anything yet.*Maybe there was one, Miss M's essay of course* So, let's not waste our precious time.
 *sigh*
Here's the poem that was given by my lecturer, Madam H. It's called The Builders by Sarah Henderson Hay and it's seemingly humorous allusion is to the children's tale The Three Little Pigs. The little pigs are 'the builders' of the poem and their story were told by the survivor of the onslaught that were brought upon by the Wolf*the antagonist of the story, which ironically killed by the final Little Pig* he who recommends “Brick is the stuff to build with, solid bricks.”  His impractical siblings are devoured “hair and hide” as they sit “one in his crummy yellow shack, and one / under his roof of twigs".
 However, the 'humorous' allusion above goes way beyond that. The last line "But I'd been willing to help them. all along,/If only they'd once admitted they were wrong." hint at a much more serious commentary about human nature. The pigs of the story book fame can be seen as human beings, so intent on their own ego or ideas that they'd turn their backs on humanity just, valuing being 'right' rather than doing the right thing. *now you understand why I was talking about PRIDE being a sin just now?* The pigs were so drawn into their own idealistic that they forgot which right and which wrong. The only thing that matters was that they themselves would ALWAYS be right, nothing else matters.
 *there's no freaking way I'm going to put pics of pigs in this blog*







Divine Revelation

Morning....Damn, that's one hell of a sleep I was in. It felt like I was sleeping on a cloud of sheeps *or something fluffy and soft..like a pillow*. But that's not what I wanted to talk about, it's just the intro though. But instead, I want to talk about this one particular human characteristic. It's what we call as PRIDE. In Christianity belief, PRIDE is one of the seven deadly sins. And it was the worse of all sins. It's the same in Islam. Being too Prideful over something meaningless could spell you trouble. But it's ironic. PRIDE being the worse sin of all ends up being the easiest thing for any human being to feel. Parents feel proud when their children finally succeed in their lives. A man feels proud for his strength, his looks, and his ability to gain any girl he wants. A women feels proud of her beauty, her ability to make any men fall for her. Then a soldier is proud of himself, for being able to serve his country till the day he dies. These are all the examples of PRIDE that usually shows up in our society. But here's the thing, is it really wrong when your parents feel proud for whatever success you achieve? Is it wrong for a soldier to feel proud of his own servitude? Is it wrong for your parents to feel proud after nurturing you your whole life? The answer is, NO. They have that bragging rights. They have the right to feel proud, to feel that PRIDE without being sinful. Because they work their ass out every day and night for our freaking sake and for the country...SO, that leaves us with one question. Do man and women have the right to feel proud over themselves for looking good, for their ability to flirt with each other, and the fact that they have girl friends or boy friends? Of course, NO! They don't have that right. Out of all PRIDE, having a SELF-PRIDE is the worse! I mean, seriously. Why would you feel proud that you can hook up with many girls at the same time? Why the buck would feel proud that you manage to make guys to swoon over you? That's just one buck up statement! So, what I'm trying to say here is, it okay for us to feel PRIDE. But what matters most is the reason for that PRIDE to exist within us. If the reason is meaningless, you'll just book yourself a one way ticket to HELL.

Orange Strikes Back *on her post lol*

Orange finally replies back on her Wall post! But weirdly enough, there was nothing wrong with her * except for the fact that she got headache and fever of course*. Did I told what I wrote on her Wall? Well I wrote this "Did the 'orang bunian' kidnap you or something?"*seriously, I wrote that* But Orange*as crazy as she is* answered like this " hlp!hlp!hlp!sve me!! XDXD*she did type like that and my reaction was like this:

Then I answered " WAIT RIGHT THERE!! Let me recite some doa or something then I'll save you!!*I mean you suddenly vanished while were chatting*". Then she answered back " hlpp~the 'orng bunian' refuse to let go of this normal and cute me * she seriously type that, albeit in Malay of course*Owh, it normal, it's cuz of my wifi, snce I kpt on gttng of9, so I just of9 la~easy!hohoho". and my reaction was like this:
 *what the fuuuuuuu (I was worrying over nothing?!)*
 

Football Fiesta and Dancing Under the Moonlight

*OMG!!!!I'M SWEATING!!!I'M FREAKING PANIC!!!NO!!!!IT SHOULD HAVE GONE IN!!!GOAL!!!NOOOO!!!!* That's what I yell while watching Malaysia vs Vietnam tonight. Okay, based on what I wrote just now, you must be thinking that I'm one hell of of a football junky to act SO enthusiastic about football. Well, FYI I'm actually not really fond of football. I mean, sure at home i played football with my brother and the neighborhood kids* note the word kids( I played football with kids lol)* I act all high and mighty when playing with them and boast about how I know all of the rules and stuff *Although secretly I detest the sport simply because I can't join the football club at school(because I lack the skills and of course..I'm a geek)* Okay, back to the topic at hand; my question here is: What's so FUN about football anyway? *other than the fact that I can tackle anyone that I want in unofficial match, or hurt them using my UBER LEET FOOTBALL SKILLZZ* I mean, why is it that football is considered the ONE sport that can actually unite the whole wide world? Well, it's simple. Let me give you an example. Try to think of a mouse, not one but a bajillion of it. Then in the middle of em' there's a cheese.*A teeny weeny little cheese*Then to spice things up, the whole colony of mouse are effing hungry! So what would they do? They'll fight to get that cheese to death with all of their might. Okayyyy, this doesn't means that in the real world the footballers would kill each other to get ball, hell no. What I'm trying to say is, once a person found a goal, they would chase that goal till the end of the Earth. That what football signifies to all of the people in this world. It's a sport with one goal in mind. To succeed. That feeling you get when scoring a goal is..BREATHTAKING. It's stimulating...And of course, it's VERY rewarding. SO now I understand why people think so highly of this sport. It is freaking FUN. :-)
*END OF PART 1*
*If I was a wee bit fitter in my schooldays, I could have been like Oboro Tsubasa in Captain Tsubasa*
After watching that match, me and my buddies finally made our of the hostel to eat. * Boy I was hungry.Seriously hungry..* So as we were eating *at Bendang of course* I overheard both Guy and Jin talking about cars. It seems Guy wanted to buy a car and he's actually saving his money to pay for it. I was sitting there, wondering to myself " How do these guys even manage to save up their money for things like that? It's a puzzling thing indeed.." Thinking again, I realized that I can't really match up to them, heck I don't have any freaking license in my wallet at all. I know how to use a motorcycle, bu i don't have a license for it, and I don't even know how to start a car *so DEFINITELY no license for that*. Then after eating we made our way back to the hostel under the *not so* moonlit sky. *END OF PART 2*
